Abstract

The aim of this study was to propose methods to transplant for the ecosystem damage borrow pits. The research site is Junggun-dong Gwangyang-si Jeollanam-do. The total area of the site is approximately $199,026m^2$, but the area damaged by exploitation of soil and rocks is about $84,200m^2$. This signals the transplanting method to solve the problems of ecological destruction. The research will focus on the areas either which are evaluated as damaged or in which the development is inevitable. Therefore, this study will investigate the vegetation structure and their evolution, topological and soil character, and annual ring structure; in the end, the study will propose compensating and restoring options. This study proposed the selection of trees and their planting methods by using the models of the community transplantation(Quercus mongolica trees) and the tree transplantation(Pinus thunbergii trees). The study set out plans that will attempt to restore the Quercus mongolica forests and 89 Quercus mongolica trees of the canopy layer trees, 153 middle layer trees, and 661 shrubs are suitable. The tree transplantation utilized the existing Pinus thunbergii trees. The number of transplantation is 2,648. The total area of the transplantation topsoil is calculated to be $15,353m^3$. These study results must be contributed to reduce a damaged ecosystems and compensated damaged ecosystems for solving the problem of damaged borrow pits.

본 연구는 매립공사로 인해 훼손되는 토취장을 대상으로 생태계 훼손에 따른 이식방안을 제안하고자 하였다. 연구대상지는 전라남도 광양시 중군동에 위치하며 전체 면적은 약 $199,026m^2$이나 토취에 의해 훼손되는 지역은 약 $84,200m^2$로 이들 지역에 대하여 생태계 훼손에 따른 이식방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 본 연구대상지내 분포하는 식생구조 및 발달과정, 지형 및 토양의 이화학적 특성, 연륜구조 등을 종합적으로 분석하여 훼손이 불가피한 대상지의 이식방안을 제안하고자 하였다. 분석결과, 본 연구에서 군락이식과 수목이식으로 구분하여 기존 신갈나무림과 곰솔림을 모델로 식재방안을 제안하였다. 훼손지의 군락이식에 있어서는 신갈나무숲을 조성하여 자연림의 복원을 도모하며, 이식량에 있어서는 교목층의 신갈나무 89주, 아교목층 153주, 관목층 661주가 적정할 것으로 조사되었으며 수목이식은 기존의 곰솔 이식으로 교목층의 곰솔 2,648주이었고, 전체 표토 이식량은 $15,353m^3$로 산출되었다. 본 연구결과는 매립에 따른 훼손지의 문제점을 해결하기 위한 생태계 보상 및 훼손 저감장치로서 유용하게 작용할 것으로 판단된다.
